We begin with the apprehensive Mr and Mrs Duck awaiting a birth. Out of the shell pops the world's first Nazi! Time flies and soon our newborn is daubing the place with swastikas and speechifying about taking over Europe and the World! He's soon joined by a dumb Italian goose who speaks in a dialogue of ice cream flavours and even the weather cock learns the salute! The dove of peace despairs, the treaty is soon confetti and the arrival of the third party to make a "silly axis" of himself completes the triumvirate of joke-worthy characters. The humour is sparse here and though we must remember it was made in 1942 as the USA was coming to terms with it's full engagement in WWII, a little more sophistication and less stereotyping might have made for a more entertaining and better standard of stand-up. We're socking it to them, though...
